Same issue here. I have a 2GB RPi4 with official case, PSU and HDMI cable. Clean install, room temperature is 20c and the Rpi4 idles at 70c and goes up to 75c during video playback.

The pi 4 temps are a known issue that they’re trying to fix. For the time being it might be wise to get the open air acrylic case with a fan. My pi 4 is stable under mild/moderate loads and hasn’t jumped past 40.5 in a house that is just under that temp wise. Doesn’t even take anything of note for a fan, either.

Will I need external alimentation for each HDD or a simple SATA to USB3.0 wire is enough ?

Also can HDD be NTFS formated ? (especially for big movies with more than 4gb file)

Thanks in advance.

Bonne journée à tous !

External housing for drives is a relatively low cost expense and it’s what I’ve done to connect to add a third drive to my 2-drive NAS, I think it was under $20 Canadian for one, has it’s own power and works like a dream! That way you can have as many drives as you want. A powered USB hub would be another option, but I’m someone who is anxious about having a drive just sitting out naked, too.

I'm just wondering if it's possible or even feasible to set up my Pi 3 running Libreelec as a VPN router? There are some things I need to unblock via GeoRestrictions that I would like to use my Pi for, I know if I installed a basic OS like Rasbpian it wouldn't be an issue, but is it possible to do this under Libreelec?

I have NordVPN and I simply want to serve access to the Pi via the Wifi chip for my Apple TV to connect to as it has no VPN system built in.

So first, thanks for all these amazing plugins! They are working like a dream on my Pi 3, but I'm having some difficulties with Sonarr

It's working to add things into Transmission just fine, but it's stuck only in the default download directory. When a download finished, I see this error:

Code

Import failed, path does not exist or is not accessible by Sonarr: /volume2/Volume_2/downloads/*********

I don't know the user account Sonarr is running on my Pi or how to change it, I've tried to find the info but I can't seem to figure it out.

These are downloading files onto my Synology NAS, but it seems like it's not possible for Sonarr to move the files due to permissions, I have a specific account setup on my NAS but I don't know where to go from here.

Can someone help me to resolve this? I presume Sonarr defaults to user root (i got an error there and Radarr I think warning me about running as Root) but I just can't figure out how to change it.

I presume I'll also need to create a user account on my Pi that matches the login information.... that said, I do have the shares mounted with those correct positions, so I'm a little confused, they seem to pulling from the shared directory on the NAS rather than the actual Pi mounted directories.

I'm running Transmission via Libreelec on my Pi 3 and I'm struggling, it seems that the web interface for transmission really can't handle when I'm downloading 3ish+ MB /s files, I can often load the web interface but it almost always hangs up and stalls out constantly, making any management nigh impossible.

What I'm trying to figure out is if I would see any benefit by switching the install over to my 3B+ that I just got, it doesn't really matter which I use as my goal was for Emulation on one of the units.

And just to confirm a distro I was downloading at about 4 MB/s just finished and I'm no longer experiencing hangs in my connection, so it's clearly something impacting the download speed.

Generally what I will do is download the files to my gigbit enabled network NAS, some files download directly to an attached hard drive, but I want to save that for specific downloads, and not everything as that's just a general external HD and I have specific NAS drives set up in my NAS unit.

The concern I have about using the 3B+ is that I seem to be struggling to get full download speeds, and I'm trying to address that but I don't see an easy solution.

I'd rather just keep things as they are on my 3B as I have libreelec working perfectly with 3D ISO files I've taken from my 3D blus, and I don't really want to rock the boat too much.

Also, thank you for all the work you do Thoradia!

Okay, after a bit of investigation and testing I can add more specificity to things.

Once the overall transfer speeds in transmission hit over 3MBs, transmission basically locks up. It becomes unusable and impossible to connect in any way.

The strange thing is that even at its base 100 Ethernet speeds, it shouldn’t have issues even writing to the NAS, but maybe I’m wrong here and that’s the bottleneck? If so, I’d say I could use my 3B + but I seem to be suffering with the same serious limited download speeds that some users seem to fight with.

Would you, or anyone else, think I’d see a benefit to running out and getting a gigabit USB Ethernet adapter? Is it possible the SDHC card is causing a bottleneck? My NAS is connected via a gigabit connection and the way things are setup is that everything is connected via an unmanaged switch coming straight off of my main router’s gigabit Port.

I got thinking about Docker and noticed that a lot of people were using it for PiHole and I realized that's why I had it, although I'm not using it on the device.

So I removed Docker and all the stuff that depended on it, and it does not seem like I'm having transmission issues anymore. I'll monitor it and post back here if I run into issues again or if anything dies on me.

I did enable the service. the issue I have now, which isn't really an issue it seems, is that it's default mounted at boot, so I think I can hold off on this until such time that it doesn't mount at boot, I'll return then.

That said, I did enable the mount and the status.... I can't remember the error it returned at this point.

I switched to an MKV (1080p, HD audio) and that seems okay but if I switch to a 4K file that’s 1/3 the size of the 3D iso (stored on a samba share) it caused the Pi to hang and simply freeze. Forced me to do a hard reboot as I couldn’t log in via ssh. And another, both to confirm work on my Apple TV 4 (non 4K), cause Kodi to crash. Trying the playback of the 1st movie again runs, but with display corruption. This isn’t absolutely necessary to play them back, but I don’t understand why it doesn’t work
